Special gathering

it's that time of the year again.

.

.

The annual socio-religio-politico-fashiono-masquerade gaterhing of all 5 family generations

.

.

Palm Sunday - Les Rameaux -  Sha3nineh

.

.

But I nag not, for the true victims of this are the children (this year I did not wear heels)

Yalla mami wlek smile pour la photo!

In comparison to last year, it was a much easier experience & I spent the occasion observing others – something I very much enjoy doing [in case you haven’t noticed yet] 😉

It’s Monday, and I have a beautiful tune for you. This is another Joe Hisaishi, from the soundtrack of Howl’s Moving Castle. Enjoy and have an amazing week! 🙂

    hilariously true as usual maya

    though the real victims on that day are the house maids. they fulfill a combination of roles on palm sunday: porters, servants, baby sitters, go-getters and clean-up maids. dressed to look inferior, they are 3 times more overworked on that day.

    i love that smug look on the faces of those heavily indebted, tarted-up lebanese men and women 🙂 it’s a true portrait of this ill-minded society!

    You didn’t wear HEELS? heheheh
    the last time my poor brave sister tried that, she got hammered by unties and cousins!!

    I know it’s slack, but i love seeing girls suffering from fashion, while i sit in my comfortable jeans and flat shoes 🙂

    great work as always Maya 🙂
